That ain't me

Who is future playoff champ.

Me

Close enough to Friday night autos
---

Whiskey Nick has the 4th highest points in the league and is in 10th place. Friday night has the 13th most points in the league and is in 9th place - tied for 6th by record. (next to last in points).

For reference, Friday Night autos is 3-3 and ahead of Nick 2-4 only because Nick has had over 300 MORE points scored against him than Friday Night.

Friday has the lowest points scored against him and it's almost 100 lower than the next closest person.

#worstautodraft

Literally only winning because other teams just have their bad weeks against me. (except last week, where I was actually a dominant team) Puns has pretty much saved my season my making sure I actually have RBs, since otherwise my drafted RBs were two people who are going to be injured for the entire season (as we know Cook will just tear an ACL again when he finally gets to play again), and a back-up who had 2 good games while the back-up was struggling... after I dropped him because he is a member of the Bills.

That said, I made bad decisions at TE and unsure how to fix it, but still... if I wasn't an auto draft I'd still have that low points scored against me, but have a much more dominant offense. And yes, I got the proof because I did a draft at the same slot directly after, grabbing exactly what I would have preferred at each slot.

TEs are pretty bad across the board this year.

So here's what's become of my matchup with the 0-6 team who had all his WRs on bye.

Headed into MNF, I'm down by 5.4 with OBJ left to play. He sat his defense this week (chargers) for whatever reason, so in theory he can pick up a defense for tonight since he has numerous bye week players who aren't locked. I picked up Atlanta just so he couldn't. But the giants are out there lol. We'll see if he starts them. Either way, let's hope OBJ has a great night.

The correct answer to my "who do you start" question ended up being unlisted. It was obviously Dion Lewis.

tbf you couldn't have predicted Sony's injury, and judging from White's performance he would've gotten his if he stayed healthy. Ingram was pretty yikes though.

Ah shit. Week 10 was already going to be rough with John Brown and a bunch of Texans on bye but Michel's injury is gonna hurt even more. Now I've gotta roll with Chris Carson against the Rams and two Cardinals WRs at WR and in the Flex unless moves are made. Yeesh.

And I'm anticipating Michel being out through the Patriots Bye even though the news is that his injury isn't serious. He's not playing next week definitely (another bummer since I'm playing one of the better teams in the league and the Pats play the Bills). And if he misses Week 9 too, I think they just hold him out Week 10 as well given his history of knee problems to give him another 2 weeks of recovery.

At least in my work league I picked up Chubb and Richard (full point PPR gives him a really solid floor). *shrug*

Yeah my silver lining is I took White in my FanDuel lineup.

If Odell manages 55 I'll win in the league where my opponent had Newton, Drake, Cohen, Thielen, Burton and Denver D.

If Beckham outscores Ito Smith by 20 the weakest team in my league will win against Sanders+Thielen+Rams D (And the team that's a mile ahead in the Points For department despite being 3-3 <_<) despite starting Gronkowski and Bortles

Not sure if this should be chalked up to chance or not. But if I'd just played my starters who had the best matchups, regardless of their "tiers", I'd have done much better this week.

I hope my opponent scores some more points, I'd hate to lose this by .06 points.

Crisis averted.

In my secondary money league I lost as the 3rd highest score out of 12. Buh.

still lost by less than a point.

Time to pray for stat corrections!

Football tomorrow

Got rid of Chris Carson for Marlon Mack. Was this a good move?
---

The only reason I might care about tomorrow's game is because my opponent has Hopkins and Fairbairn. And Watson+Miller on his bench.

But nah, I probably will wind up not giving a shit and just checking in Friday morning

Got rid of buck Allen for Richard.

What sucks is my RB group... theoretically an RB1, 2, and 3 in Mixon, McCoy, and now Richard, but I have 5 WR2's in Brown, Boyd, Funchess, Tate, and Mike Evans. Any of those can be top scorer in a given week, and making the decision is annoying. But nobody in my league wants to trade.

Yeah.

With Michel injured I have to play either Carson or Miller. Leaning Miller as I don't completely trust the Seattle backfield coming off their bye. Or I could just start both and have Geronimo Allison on my bench. *shrug*

Hello, I'm the guy rostering 7 RBs that nobody will trade for because my league doesn't trade either, even though my 'worst' RB is probably McCoy. And I've tried to offload some of that depth for a WR upgrade. But no matter how high or low I shoot, nobody is interested in a sane, mutually beneficial deal.

Granted, when bye weeks aren't a factor my decision is infinitely easier than yours. Gurley/Conner/White. Done.

I have A.J. Green, Juju, Hilton, Landry, Cobb and I can't get anyone to trade me a RB so I feel your pain

My RB corps are awful too. D Johnson, C Thompson, A Jones, J Williams, J Richards. I was banking in Packers actually picking a RB when I drafted

I wish they would just leave Fournette as Out or IR so I can put him on IR and fill a spot. They said they don't want to play him for another two weeks! Don't move him to doubtful!
---

John Brown is a free agent in my league right now. Wtf.

Imagine if his name wasn't literally John Brown

I'd made a decision to cut my bench WRs and just hoard RBs, but I can't let a guy who's WR14 after 7 weeks just sit there when he's got Atl, KC, TB weeks 13-15

Now you're sort of understanding how I felt when I saw James White sitting in the FA pool!

OH YEAH, funny thing. I just looked earlier this week and noticed that as a matter of fact, James White also went undrafted in my league. He was picked up from FA between the draft and week 1.

There's something about NE RBs that is offputting to most. I usually got Dion Lewis off waivers or late in the draft the last few years because of it

oh my goodness. there's a team in my league who only owns two healthy/active RBs, and they're Kenyan Drake and Ty Montgomery

(bell in IR spot, powell now being sent to IR as well)

hmm but who do I try to buy from him?

Darius Leonard, Khalil Mack, or Le'veon Bell?

Not Bell unless you're willing to give up something for probably nothing.

No comment on the other two because I have zero grasp of the value of IDPs

You think Bell won't end up being worth anything?

I think Bell will report late and then be conveniently injured. I have him sat on IR in one league where someone dropped him and I have zero faith in him actually playing

I have a hunch Bell will play less than 10 snaps for the Steelers this season, the way his holdout has developed.

He's also obviously not getting traded.

I am fucking cursed. I picked up Marlon Mack and now he's questionable.

It's Wednesday.

I know what day it is but I just get exasperated every day when I get multiple Yahoo alerts about statuses on my team.
---

I get worried when my entire team isn't questionable every week. Most of the time it means nothing, unless we know a guy is injured.
---

this is the first year I've ever cared about questionable designations, because we just implemented the IR spot

if they go ahead and rule a player OUT before waivers process, I can place them in IR and pick up an extra player from free agency, hold them both to see how the week plays out, then drop whichever I don't want. so it's frustrating if you're 90% sure someone isn't going to play that week but they just wait around to be sure for the designation (see: Michel and Coutee this week)

Meanwhile reports are that Dalvin Cook will be out until after the Vikings Bye and he still has the Q tag himself <_<

Kupp with his Doubtful tag is literally more likely to return this week.

Football tonight

I love Juju

JuJu Smith-Schuster bought 100-plus Mega Millions tickets this week. As his interview concluded, he said, "I tried to win it so we could get Le'Veon back. It didn't work."

Juju is legit one of the best human beings in the NFL yeah.

In researching Andrew Luck, I've just learned that the Jets have a WR named Lucky Whitehead.

He was cut before the season started

But he played a couple years in Dallas and was pretty nonexistent tbh.
